The Gasoline Exploded.
The "News and Courier says Train
No. 52, of the Atlantic Coast Line,
leaving Charleston at 6 o'clock Satur
day morninpr met with a very pecu
liar accident, which resulted in the
destruction of one of the first-class
vestibuled coaches and occasioned a de
lay of an hour or two iu the arrival of
other trains. A passenger, evidently
bound for the station called Saxon,
which is the nearest point to the
plant of the Charie-tnn Light
and Water Company, about fifteen
miles from Charleston, had boarded
the train carrying a can of gasoline,
and, placing it near the steam pipes,
which are designed to heat the cars,
paid no further attention to his dan
gerous bagKacre. When the train stop
ped at Saxon for water all the all the
passengers in this particular car were
amazed to hear a loud explosion, and
see the man who had been sitting over
the gasoline can thrown into the aisle.
The conductor quickly called for
everything to leave she car, and ef
forts were.made by the train .crew to
extinguish the flames that had spread
immediately after the explosion. This
was without avail, and the car was
then detached from the others and
blazed, fiercely and was, in about an
hour, consumed. Being on the main
line it was not possible for any trains
to pass until the woodwork was down,
and Trains 35 and 40 were delayed for
something over an hour. The flames
were then sufficiently reduced to allow
trains to use the siding, which was
near, and a little later everything was
running smoothly again. Except the
man who had the gasoline, and who
sustained serious burns, no one was
hurt and th'ere were no losses of bag
gage. The car was new and modern,
vestibuled and handsomely furnished.
It is understood that the loss was cov
ered by insurance.
Honored at Home.

and present an excellent opportunity
for the utilizing of remnants. They
are mostly trimmed with tiny ruchlngs
of chiffon and taffeta or narrow bands
of mink und sable.
The large chiffon undersleeves are
also prime factors in the renovating of
an old dress, for tight sleeves may be
cut short and widened by the addition
of bands or flgurings of velvet.
Skirts are much fuller around the
feet, and the additional width is some
times gained by setting in fancy pieces
in the way of trimming.
